[WSBARP] California Dead Man's Statute?

[Christopher Muñoz]

 . . . misfiled in my outbox since February . . .

Catherine, et. al. -- In a word, no; not since 1965.

Although the statute had been in the Cal. Code Civ. Proc. (§ 1880) since
the 1880s, and although diluted by various subsequent case law exceptions,

it persisted until 1965, when the California legislature adopted the
recommendation of the Cal. Law Revision Com. to repeal.

California's rule on the subject, such as it isn't, now more or less
follows the Fed. Rules Evid., in Cal. Evid. Code §§ 1860-61.
